The word love is a switch play
People say I love you and think it's a game
Don't understand when your in love
You feel like a dove
Flying high and free
It's like feeling a cold breeze
So as it pass by you get goosebumps
Put people like me were stumped
Like the speed of a car going over a ****
It's a slow process
One that I know best
Today I'm careful
Tomorrow I'm fearful
And for the rest of my life I'd be faithful
For if i see a girl that takes love seriously
Then I will let down my walls willing and freely
But now that word is like a curse
Or a virus on a main course

I know you wait on but instead
We're both still angry at the things we said
Knowing we love each other so much
I wonder how can we think of such
You turn me on when I'm near
When I'm lying in your bed, you give me a certain type of fear
I try to take your clothes off slowly
Not knowing I'd grow impatient and leave them with holy
For when me and your body meets
It's as if everything slowed down
Like we're under the sea
To show I love you
I'd be soft and gentle
You breathing down my neck it starts to tickle
As you lick it like a pop sickle
This may sound wrong
But i love how our bodies move like the rhythm to a song

For one that will never see his love again
He acts very tame
He switched his love for war and fame
But the one he loves
Wouldn't be claimed
It might be a mystery
Why he joined the army
Maybe the scent of gun powder and oil bring him a sense of glory
But there is no love in war so it's always a tragedy
Because chaos and destruction holds no boundaries
The difference between love and war
Is like trying to defy gravity
It can't be done,you have to choose one
Even if it hurts you
At least try to be aware
OF the things you do

With this metal glove
And history of death
He killed little children
It helped with his health
The people burnt down his house
Since his death he has been silent as a mouse
He still targets children
But in there dreams
For it had been a blood stream
A series of killings
But only one person was willing
To bring him out the dream
And finish him at will
For Freddy was so scared he stood still
For everyone he killed he never repent
So they brought Jason and there he was sent
Back to hell
And survivors a story to tell

Write lyrics on a page
And the director would make a play and put you on stage
But for us who were once tame
Were confuse and corrupted by fame
And because of that we felt great pain
This pain isn't the same as a cut or a stick
Our pain is mental
Not physical
For we lose families
To thieves or robbers
Masked cults or serial killers
For criminals
Fame is just a gmae
SO to have fame
To let go of being tame
Continuously being shamed
Causes much pain

This is not the time to remember
For we are now a member
Of the ones that are forgotten
From ancient memories
From ancient places
We were taken from different paces
For our history is not just
But storytellers have a lust
Of changing history
So they make it easy with a theory
That if you want to know something about history
Go back to there roots
Some people had mistakenly went to the shoot
And only got half of the story
And therefore have false theories

We might be equals
But we are different
Same strength
Same weakness
But different teachings and understandings
It is what were are thought that defines us
Freedom our way
Captivity yours
Though we are different races
It doesn't make us right
To do God's job and judge
For we are not one with him until we past his test
Judgement day is coming and we'll be laid to rest
We rebel and retaliate like horses at a sound of a whip
We go forward,but you are evil enough to make us trip
To trip and old man because of different race and nationality
This act is not decent or a sign of formality
But we will judge for our own sake
We will fight with our wood and metal stakes
To make things clear we will not go down easy
Leaving yourselves open,so please be weary
For we will strike when the time is best
And leave history to the rest
